Description
I Patented May 20, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
CHARLES F. BOOTH AND ARTHUR B. GERBER, OF ANNISTON, ALABAMA, AND PAUL LOGUE, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, ASSIGNORS TO FEDERAL PHOSPHORUS COMPANY, OF BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, A CORPORATION OF ALABAMA SODIUM BORATE TRI-SODIUM PHOSPHATE COMPOUND MANUFACTURE No Drawing.
This invention relates to the manufacture of compounds of alkali-metal phosphate, and
particularly to a new sodium borate tri-so' dium phosphate compound, such as falls gen erally within the class of products forming the subject of our copending application, Serial No. 726,920, and to the process for its manufacture.
This application in its process phase is a continuation in part of our application. Serial No. 726,919, now U. s. Patent No. 1,688,112, I
wherein we have described and claimed a process for the production of a neutral trisodium phosphate, i. e., one produced by the use of less caustic soda so that the resulting compound would have a ratio of 0.50 when titrated with a standard acid, using phenolphthalein and methyl orange as indicators. During the experiments from which the last mentioned invention resulted, it was discovered that a new definite compound could be produced from the neutral tri-sodium phosphate solution by the addition of sodium borate, and that such addition improved the crystallization of the resulting tri-sodium phosphate compound. It will therefore be seen that this new compound and its production by our process offers distinct economic advantages over. the manufacture of alkaline or commercial tri-sodium phosphate as produced heretofore, and in addition to the skin.
AND PROCESS FOR ITS Application filed October 28, 1927. Serial No. 229,525.
Borax is then added to the solution in such a quantity that after dilution with water the solution will have a specific gravity of 1.32 and contain approximately 8% of borax. When borax is thus added to the solution in substantially the proportions outlined, a sodium borate-tri-sodium-phosphate compound of crystalline form is obtained when the solution is cooled.
The amount of sodium borate varies'according to the titration ratio, more sodium borate being required with a high ratio. The titration ratio varies from approximately 0.46 to 0.50, before the addition of the borax, depending upon the concentration of the solution, a high ratio being used for higher concentrations. After the addition of the borax the ratio Will vary from 0.50 to 0.54. The crystals obtained from this solution will have an alkalinity expressed by the relation of the phenolphthalein titration t0 16h; methyl orange titration of from 0.57 to After the sodium borate-tri-sodium phosphate solution is tested as described above, it is cooled in any suitable manner and the sodium borate-tri-sodium phosphate crystals separate out. They may be dried in a centrifuge or any other suitable means of dewatering, and then steam or air dried to remove the surface moisture. After drying, the crystals are ready for shipment.
The following proportions are given as illustrative of the materials required in making 100 lbs. of the above described sodium borate tri-sodium phosphate compound by our process 30:,5: H PO (18# H PO 1961:}: commercial soda ash (58% Na O).
7.5# caustic soda (76% Na O).
16.0# sodium borate.
The acid is neutralized by the soda ash and any impurities such as iron, alumina, and calcium phosphates which are precipitated, are
removed from the solution, preferably by After filtration sodium borate and caustic soda are added and the solution thoroughly mixed. The mixture is then tested as follows. This caustic soda requirement or ratio. in producing solutions for crystallization may be judged by a method of control in which the sodium borate tri-sodium phosphate solu tion is titrated with a half normal hydrochloric acid solution using phenolphthalein and methyl orange as indicators. .VVhen the end point for the phenolphthalein is reached, a reading is made of the acid used, and the titration is continued to a slight acid end point with the methyl orange. The reading of the titration of the phen'olphthalein is then divided by the sum of the readings, and a ratio of 0.46 to 0.50 is the desired resultant for the optimum conditions to produce the best yield of sodium borate tri-sodium phos phate crystals when the. solution is cooled.
According to the previously outlined method, if sufficient caustic has not been added, an addition is made until the titration gives the desired figure; while if an excess of caustic has been added, di-sodium phosphate solution is added to reduce the figure to the desired point. The same equipment can be used for the subsequent cooling, crystallization, dewatering and drying of this product as for the alkaline or commercial trisodium phosphate as found on the market at present. When we refer to alkaline or commercial tri-sodium phosphate as found on the market at present, we means to include its compounds, whatever the composition may be.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The herein described composition of matter consisting of a compound of sodium phosphate and sodium borate.
2. The herein described composition of matter consisting of a compound of tri-so dium phosphate and sodium borate.

9. The herein described process for the manufacture of a sodium borate tri-sodium phosphate composition, which consists in the addition of caustic soda and sodium borate to di-sodium phosphate, substantially as described.

The herein described process for the manufacture of a sodium borate tri-sodium phosphate composition, which consists in adding caustic soda and sodium borate to disodium phosphate solution, and cooling and crystallizing a sodium borate tri-sodium phosphate compound therefrom, substantial- 1y as described.
